BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Description of Related Art including information disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98.

The disclosure and prior art relates to mailing devices and more particularly pertains to a new mailing device for mailing a solid object.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising an envelope that may be mailed. A pocket is coupled within the envelope and the pocket may contain at least one object. Thus, the pocket inhibits the at least one object from impeding sorting equipment when the envelope is mailed.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a back view of a mailing assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a back perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a back phantom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a front phantom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new mailing device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the mailing assembly 10 generally comprises an envelope 12 that may be mailed. The envelope 12 has a front side 14, a back side 15, a top side 16, a first lateral edge 18 and a flap 20. The top side 16 is open and the top side 16 may insertably receive a document 22. The document 22 may be a letter or the like. The front side 14 has an inside surface 24 and the envelope 12 may be a mailing envelope of any conventional design.

A pocket 26 is provided. The pocket 26 is coupled within the envelope 12 and the pocket 26 may contain at least one object 28. Thus, the at least one object 28 is inhibited from impeding sorting equipment when the envelope 12 is mailed. The at least one object 28 may comprise coins, keys or other metallic objects.

The pocket 26 is coupled to the front side 14 of the envelope 12. The pocket 26 has an upper side 30 and the upper side 30 is open. Thus, the top side 16 may insertably receive the at least one object 28. The pocket 26 is positioned on the inside surface 24 of the envelope 12.

The pocket 26 is aligned with the top side 16 of the envelope 12 and the first lateral edge 18 of the envelope 12. The upper side 30 of the pocket 26 is aligned with the top side 16 of the envelope 12. Thus, the pocket 26 positions the at least one object 28 in accordance with United States Postal Service requirements. The at least one object 28 may be mailed with or without the document 22 in the envelope 12.

In use, the at least one object 28 and the document 22 are positioned in the pocket 26. The flap 20 is closed and the envelope 12 is mailed in the convention of the United States Postal Service. The at least one object 28 is retained in the upper left hand corner of the envelope 12. Thus, the at least one object 28 is inhibited from impeding the sorting equipment employed by the United States Postal Service.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements. 

1. An object storage assembly being configured to support a plurality of objects thereby facilitating the objects to be organized and stored, said assembly comprising: a plurality of bases, each of said bases being configured to be positioned on a support surface; a shaft unit being removably coupled to a selected one of said bases wherein said shaft unit is configured to extend upwardly from the support surface, said shaft unit having a telescopically adjustable length such that said shaft unit has a maximum height ranging between approximately 1.8 meters and 2.1 meters, said shaft unit comprising a plurality of sleeves, each of said sleeves having a top end, a bottom end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said outer wall tapering inwardly between said bottom end and said top end, said plurality of sleeves being slidably coupled together having said sleeves being collinear with each other, said plurality of sleeves being selectively positioned between a minimum length and a maximum length, said plurality of sleeves including a top sleeve and a bottom sleeve; a plurality of holders, a selected one of said holders being removably coupled to said shaft unit wherein said selected holder is configured to have the objects positioned thereon thereby facilitating the objects to be organized and stored; a rod having a first end and a second end, said rod being comprised of a resiliently bendable material, said first end being coupled to said top end corresponding to said top sleeve; a knob being coupled to said second end of said rod; and each of said holders having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end having a second well extending toward said upper end, said second well corresponding to said selected holder insertably receiving said knob on said rod such that said selected holder is removably coupled to said rod.
